Daisy Toye and Carole Radziwill’s Washington Square Park Bags
Daisy Toye and Carole Radziwill having coffee on a Washington Square Park bench, with Daisy’s Louis Vuitton Noé beside her, on The Real Housewives of New York City.
Coffee on a bench in Washington Square Park, two cast members catching up, and two bags worth a closer look.
Daisy's Louis Vuitton Noé
Daisy Toye's bag got its own spot on the bench. It's a Louis Vuitton Noé in Monogram canvas, the full-size version, which stands about 13 inches tall.
The vachetta trim has turned a deep honey, so this one has been around a while. That patina only comes with years of carrying. Louis Vuitton designed the Noé in 1932 to hold five bottles of Champagne. Today it holds whatever doesn't fit in a smaller bag.
Why it works: A green bouclé coat and red top are a lot of color. Brown monogram and tan leather sit underneath without competing, and a broken-in vintage bag keeps the look from feeling too new.
Get the look: Louis Vuitton still makes the Noé, but the honey patina only comes with age, so preloved is the way to match Daisy's. Vintage full-size Noés are some of the better-value LV bags on resale, often around $900 to $1,300. For a drawstring bucket without the monogram, Coach's Rowan is on sale below.
Carole's Ferragamo Vara Bow
Carole Radziwill is back on RHONY after eight years away, and her return look is very Carole: a herringbone tweed blazer, a cream scarf, light jeans and headphones around her neck, as if she might leave mid-sentence.
Her bag is a small Ferragamo Vara Bow crossbody in reddish-brown leather on a gold chain. The Vara bow is the grosgrain bow with a gold Vara plaque on the flap, the same detail as Ferragamo's famous Vara shoe. Against all that tweed and cream, the warm leather and a little gold are the one accent, and a long chain leaves both hands free for coffee.
